Biography
Biography
Grand Funk experienced their most success with Frost after he joined the band in 1973, and his recognizable work on their popular hit songs "The Loco-Motion" (Little Eva cover) and "We're an American Band". He also contributed significantly to Grand Funk as a songwriter, in partnership with drummer Don Brewer. After the initial breakup of Grand Funk Railroad in 1977, Frost joined with former bandmates Don Brewer and bassist Mel Schacher to form the short-lived band Flint. After its disbanding, he joined Bob Seger & the Silver Bullet Band, where he remained for over two decades. In July 2005, Frost "sat in" at a concert in North Branch, Michigan for the first time since 1977 with Grand Funk. He has done so a number of times since, at such locations as Detroit and Las Vegas.
